Klappentext

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising new solar cells, with strong commercial potential. Several challenges remain before PSCs can be released in wide-scale commercial application. This book highlights the opportunities, advancements, and critical challenges involved in the commercial application of PSCs. It discusses large area fabrication, long-term stability, lead management, encapsulation techniques, as well as a commercial roadmap and current and future trends.

This volume:

• Details the importance of lead management strategies to minimize toxicity.

• Shares progress on photon management.

• Discusses advances and challenges in enlarging perovskite use and the key factors restraining upscaling.

• Highlights issues around long-term stability of PSCs.

• Summarizes commercial advances around the industrialization of PSCs. This book is aimed at researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals in materials, energy, and related areas of engineering who are interested in development and commercialization of photovoltaic technologies.
